As you can see: Altra Running is taking over the shop! The new Olympus is amazing as an oversized, high traction shoe for long ultras. The Superior 2016 is an amazing minimal option. The Lone Peak 2.5 is that happy sweet spot for most folks.

It’s good to see the Scott Kinabalu make the charts again!! The new version of the Kinabalu 3.0 came out this month…and even though it has the same name as last year’s Kinabalu, it feels quite a bit different. Sturdier, softer, roomier, and a much nicer upper.

Lots of new stuff coming soon that should shake up the Top 7 including: Montrail Trans Alps and Pearl Izumi Trail N3!
